A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sharp, tapered serifs. Stems and main strokes are heavy and sculpted, while hairlines are extremely thin, creating crisp, flashing transitions at joins. Many glyphs show calligraphic shaping with beaked terminals, teardrop-like finishes, and occasional ball terminals, giving the outlines a lively, engraved feel. Proportions skew roomy with ample internal counters and assertive curves, and the overall rhythm is energetic rather than strictly mechanical.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, invitations, and prominent pull quotes. It excels where a refined, high-impact italic voice is desired and where generous sizing preserves the delicate hairlines.
The font projects a confident, couture-like elegance with a distinctly dramatic flair. Its sharp contrast and animated terminals feel formal and expressive, lending a sense of luxury and performance to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a distinctly stylized, high-contrast italic treatment, adding ornamental terminals and swashy details for a more expressive, upscale presence. It aims to deliver impact and sophistication in short-form text rather than neutrality for long passages.
The design includes several conspicuously decorative forms (notably in characters like J, Q, and the ampersand), which add personality but can draw attention in continuous reading. Numerals follow the same contrasty, italicized construction and read best at display sizes where the hairlines remain visible.
